Description:
Cuenca's top restaurant has a divine setting: the enclosed courtyard of an old Cuencan home elegantly refurbished into a restaurant. Marble floors, crisp white tablecloths, and comfortable wooden chairs may make this place feel more like a restaurant in Paris than like one in Cuenca, but the creative cuisine here has its roots in Ecuador. The owner, Berta Vintimilla, bakes the delicious empanadas herself and they are excellent as an appetizer; the recipes for many of the Ecuadorean specials come from her family. Main courses include sea bass with crab sauce served with rice and vegetables, tenderloin of beef, jumbo langoustines with fennel, and a variety of daily specials. The service is excellent, the wine list is reasonable, and every ingredient used in the kitchen is of the highest quality. Note that the restaurant is closed on weekends, except for groups of a substantial size who have made reservations.
